WOW! Ron Reagan in NYT this weekend!
Just a taste of what's going to be in the New York Times interview this weekend:


Q: How do you account for all the glowing obituaries of him (His father)?

RR: I think it was a relief for Americans to look at pictures of something besides men on leashes. If you are going to call yourself a Christian - and I don't - then you have to ask yourself a fundamental question, and that is: Whom would Jesus torture? Whom would Jesus drag around on a dog's leash? How can Christians tolerate it? It is unconscionable. It has put our young men and women who are over there, fighting a war that they should not have been asked to fight - it has put them in greater danger.

Q: How did your mother feel about being ushered to her seat by President Bush?

RR: Well, he did a better job than Dick Cheney did when he came to the rotunda. I felt so bad. Cheney brought my mother up to the casket, so she could pay her respects. She is in her 80's, and she has glaucoma and has trouble seeing. There were steps, and he left her there. He just stood there, letting her flounder. I don't think he's a mindful human being. That's probably the nicest way I can put it.

2. I wonder if he will talk about his fathers policy choices?
That would be interesting.
